Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Only four people went to that world this time.

For Natsuyo Senju and Sumire Muroto, that world was their old home, even though it held some unpleasant memories.

As for Isaac, who is the one who can open the door to truth between the two worlds, he naturally needs to be present, and Violet accompanies Isaac on his journey.

"By the way, Isaac, are you planning to bring Violet along too?"

Sumire Muroto pointed at Violet and asked.

Violet: "I will accompany Lieutenant General Isaac wherever he goes."

Isaac: "Hmm, Violet is going this time too, is there a problem?"

"No, it's just that the girl from the Tendo family will probably have a very good expression," Muroto Sumire said with a smile.

"What does this have to do with the boss?"

"You're in this position, yet you still call him 'boss'?"

“I have always respected my boss very much, even though I have extremely high power in Amestris and am only one step away from becoming the president.”

"You'd better explain things to Aihara Enju as well."

"...Who is it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, have you been traveling through multiple worlds for so long that you've even forgotten who you started? I have to admire you for not forgetting Kisaragi the only one you haven't forgotten so far."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I think I remember you. That annoying little brat with those pigtails."

"That's a rather subtle assessment."

Sumire Muroto smiled and sighed.

"According to the time ratio of the two worlds you mentioned earlier, one day there is equivalent to two days here. Although I don't know how much time you experienced while traveling in other worlds, half a year has passed since I arrived in Amestris, which means three months have passed in that world."

"Three months... that shouldn't be a problem."

"There's a big problem. Don't forget what you did before you came back from that world. You led the police to defeat Aldebaran and win the Third Battle of Kanto. Your prestige reached its peak, but at that moment you chose to go back to your hometown and left everything unresolved."

"I said seriously."

"After that battle, the entire Tokyo area will change drastically. Who knows what will happen in three months?"

"Okay, let's go check it out first."

Knowing that the situation over there might really be a bit tricky, Isaac no longer hesitated. The shadow beneath his feet instantly dispersed, turning the entire basement floor black.

After the Gate of Truth rose from the shadows, the gate slowly opened, illuminating the group.

Let's go.

------------

"Three months...three months! Do you know how I've spent these three months? Do you know?"

"Alright, you say this every time you come to my office. You should be used to it by now."

On the top floor of a huge office building, a woman wearing a black school uniform, with long black hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall, couldn't help but sigh.

"Enju, there's nothing I can do about Satomi not coming back."

Tendou Kisuke looked helplessly at Aihara Enju, who was jumping around in front of him.

"But... but it shouldn't be that you don't make a single phone call."

"Perhaps it's because cross-border communication is impossible."

When Isaac went back, his excuse was to go to China to learn cooking skills, which would take about a few months.

It has been three months now, and Isaac and his family have been completely cut off from each other. No one who knows him has been able to contact him, including Kisara Tendo.

"Damn it... Why didn't Rentaro take me with him when he went to China, but instead took Xia Shi?" Lan Yuan Enju gritted her teeth every time she thought about this. "Maybe they've even had a child by now."

"Don't overthink it, Satomi isn't that kind of person."

"But what if you can't resist the temptation of a philanderer?"

"impossible."

Although he was constantly dealing with Aihara Enju, to be honest, Tendo Kisara was also missing Isaac.

I think about it every day.

She unconsciously touched her lips.

The day before Isaac left, Tendo Kisara took the initiative to kiss him.

Her feelings for Isaac seemed to have stopped at that moment; at least she was clear about her own emotions.

Ignoring the continued antics of Aihara Enju, Tendo Kisara rested his chin on his hand, his thoughts drifting back to the days three months ago when Isaac was still here.

"Satomi, where are you?"

Knock knock~

"Come in."

Hearing a knock at the door, Tendo Kisara called out.

She could roughly guess who it was.

The door opened, and a cute blonde little girl walked into Tendo Kisara's office.

Tina Sprantt is currently Kisara Tendo's partner, serving as a sniper.

"Um...is my brother back?"

"No... By the way, you and Yeonjoo have been asking me about him every day since last month. I'll let you know when he comes back."

"Because we're all worried that the big-breasted aliens will hide Rentaro," Aihara Enju pouted.

"Who are you calling a big-breasted alien?!"

Tina looked slightly disappointed when she learned that Isaac hadn't returned yet, but she was used to it.

They come to ask every day, and every day they get a negative response. If it weren't for the expectation, they wouldn't keep doing it this frequently.

Looking at the two little girls, Tendo Kisara couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"You really are a sinner, Satomi-kun."

After much persuasion, he managed to send the two girls away. Tendo Kisara leaned back in his chair, his gaze falling on a small box on his desk.

This was a gift Isaac gave her before he left; it was the missile launch button.

Although it was for safety reasons, giving someone this as a gift before leaving shows that this person really has no sense of romance.

Kisara Tendo stroked the box, muttering to herself, "Satomi, you haven't really forgotten me, have you?"

knock knock.

Just as she was talking to herself, there was another knock on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Kisara Tendo put the box back in its place and called out from the direction of the door, "Come in."

Although I don't know who it is this time, I guess it's an employee of Tendo Civil Security Company.

As soon as the door opened, a familiar voice instantly gave Tendoki a jolt.

"Boss, I'm back."

"Sato... Satomi..."

Tendo Kisara looked toward the door with her big eyes and saw Isaac greeting her.

Overwhelmed with excitement and joy, Tendo Kisara took three quick steps toward Isaac, but stopped just one step away.

She suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Satomi...your face looks different."

Chapter 1190: Let me introduce you, this is Violet.

"Satomi, why is your face..."

Isaac's face was not the same as Rentaro Satomi's face when he was in this world; it had already reverted to its original appearance the moment he returned.

Tendo Kisara, however, was completely unaware of this.

"You're talking about my face."

Isaac touched his face and said.

"I changed because of some things... or rather, this is what I always looked like."

"Huh?"

"This is a long story..."

"Let me speak."

At that moment, Sumire Muroto, wearing a white lab coat, opened the door and walked in.

Upon seeing Sumire Muroto, Kisara Tendo's face was filled with surprise.

"Dr. Muroto? You're here? For the past three months, your disappearance has caused a frenzy among the highest levels of government in the Tokyo area."

Sumire Muroto followed Isaac after he left with Natsuyo Chizu, but she made the decision on her own and did not tell anyone.

She was one of the "Four Sages" of Japan, a highly valued talent in the entire Tokyo area. Her sudden disappearance threw the people there into complete panic.

“Oh, I left with Isaac,” Sumire Muroto said with a smile.

"Isaac? Who's that?"

Kisara Tendo looked completely bewildered, while Sumire Muroto simply smiled and pointed to Isaac standing to the side.

"Of course it's him."

"Satomi?"

A series of questions left Tendoki even more bewildered, and the large amount of incomprehensible information caused her thoughts to become chaotic.

“I know it’s hard for you to accept right now, so I’ll give you a brief explanation.”

Sumire Muroto glanced at Isaac, then said to Kisara Tendo, "First of all, regarding the face, this is his original appearance. The face you know that Rentaro Satomi has is just an accident."

"Huh? How is that possible? I grew up with Satomi, his face..."
